A group of miners, posing in a huge semicircle, knelt on the ground in front of the swing flip, which was a bit ugly, or rather, a little embarrassing.

The face of the swing flip was also full of embarrassment written in capital letters: "Wages and wages...... Cough...... What's going on...... It's like this, the imperial court has been busy suppressing bandits and cleaning up the bandits recently, what's that...... Alas...... The official really can't pay the salary. ”

The miners' faces were full of begging: "Lord Zhizhou, if the imperial court doesn't pay us any more wages, we will starve to death, so it is better to be buried in the mine, at least we will die quickly, and it will not be so uncomfortable." ”

Swing flip: "......"

What's going on?

It's hard to fix!

It is really too difficult to be a magistrate of the Ming Dynasty.

The swing turned over and the head was suddenly two big.

Embroidery Tianzun laughed hesitantly: "Yiye, you know." ”

Gao Yiye has been a saint for so many years, and has been helping to spread the word, and she is very familiar with Tianzun's style of work, and now she doesn't even need to ask Dao Xuan to say it in detail, she understands, and walks over with a smile: "Lord Qiu, what are you doing...... Can't get paid? ”

The swing was so embarrassed that he wanted to get into the ground: "The official has tried his best, but the state treasury is empty, and even last year's tax silver was finally smashed and sold to make up for it, and this year, the official really can't get the silver." The taxes to be paid to the imperial court, and the wages to be paid to the official workshops and official mines, the officials are ......."

In the end, with a spread of hands, this posture is called: admit that you don't pay the debt, you don't have money, you have to die.

When the miners heard this, their expressions became even more sad, and several of them couldn't help but tighten their hoes in their hands, and it was obvious that the last straw that broke the camel's back was about to come.

Gao Yiye: "Lord Qiu, since the imperial court has encountered difficulties, those of us who got rich first should also come out to help drive the later riches and solve problems for the imperial court, what do you think?" The wages of these miners will be distributed by my Li family. ”

When the miners heard this, they were immediately overjoyed: Where did this female bodhisattva come from, who rescued us from the mine and gave us another payment? O living bodhisattva!

When he heard it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he was not a simple-minded miner, and after a moment of joy, he immediately reacted: "What do you want?" ”

Gao Yiye: "We don't want anything else, we just want the right to mine this iron ore." ”

Swing flip immediately understood: privately contracted iron ore.

This is not an uncommon thing, especially in the northern part of Shanxi, where small coal kilns are rampant, and there are small coal bosses everywhere, some legal, some illegal, some contracted from the government, and some found a hidden place to dig by themselves, without reporting to the government at all.

I didn't need to think much about it, so I nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Gao Yiye was slightly surprised in his heart: It's interesting, this Zhizhou promised so happily, when Gaojia Village was engaged in coal mining in Heyang County, he also had a pull with Feng Jun of Zhixian County, but this swing turned without even pulling, and he agreed directly.

This is about the city dominated by industry and commerce, and the consciousness of managers is more fashionable.

Swing said: "Mrs. Li, this official knows that the Li family is strong, and has always transported a large amount of grain to Puzhou through General Xing, and my Puzhou can have such a stable situation today, and it all depends on the efforts of the Li family and General Xing, so this official will not talk nonsense, you try to ensure the peace of the people of Puzhou, give them enough food, don't let them rebel, and the official can open his eyes and close his eyes to anything else." ”

Gao Yiye understood: Shanxi was in turmoil, and 360,000 rogues were running around, which frightened the magistrates, and what they were most afraid of now was that someone would rebel, and everything else became secondary.

So as magistrates, they only hope that someone can help them appease the people and prevent the people from making trouble, then everything will be fine.

The two sides negotiated in three or two sentences, and each sought what they needed, so of course they were all happy-

In the evening, Puzhou City, barracks.

Lao Nanfeng took off his mountain armor, dressed in civilian clothes, took a few close militia soldiers, happily got out of the barracks, and walked towards the downtown area, while walking, he still hummed a song in his mouth: "I can't fly out, the world of flowers is ......"

Several militia soldiers next to him laughed: "Brother Nanfeng, you just started to get high when you left the barracks?" ”

Old Nanfeng laughed: "I'm afraid you don't know what kind of place this Puzhou is?" This place was called Pusaka in ancient times, and it is the birthplace of our Chinese civilization, and it is recorded as 'in the world' in the "Historical Records"! Liu Zongyuan, one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, Lu Lun and Geng Zhen, the poets Wang Wei, Nie Yizhong and poetry critic Sikong Tu, and the hometown of celebrities such as Wang Di, Wang Quzheng, Ma Yuan and other Danqing national players in the Song Dynasty, 'Puzhou Bangzi' and 'Xingyi Liuhequan' all originated here. ”

The militia soldiers were taken aback: "Oh? And this statement? ”

Lao Nanfeng said: "Lao Tzu will take you to the crazy world now, and feel the prosperity of this flower world, hahahaha." ”

The militia soldiers also became happy: "Follow Brother Nanfeng and go to see the world." ”

"It's a pity you can't drink." Lao Nanfeng said: "Oh, how happy it would be if I could drink." ”

A soldier took out a water bag and handed it over: "Tianzun said that you can't drink alcohol when you go on the expedition, but you can drink this." ”

Lao Nanfeng took it and smelled it, and actually smelled the wine, although it was not as fragrant as the wine, but it was also thick and mellow, which was quite tempting: "This is rice wine?" Is it really not a violation of military discipline to drink this? I fucking dare to violate the military discipline of the imperial court, but I don't dare to violate the military discipline of Gaojia Village, God knows if Tianzun is looking at me now. ”

The soldier said in a low voice: "Tianzun said that this is called non-alcoholic sparkling wine, it has the smell of alcohol, but the alcohol concentration is less than 0.5, and it is specially given to the militia to drink." ”

Old Nanfeng was overjoyed: "Why haven't I heard of it?" ”

The soldier said in a low voice: "You also know that Tianzun gave something, it all depends on your mood, this thing was given a long time ago, and Brother Nanfeng hadn't joined the militia at that time." I've been saving it for a long time, and I've been reluctant to do it, but if Brother Nanfeng wants to drink it, I'll take it out and share it. ”

Old Nanfeng was overjoyed and slapped the soldier's shoulder: "Brother righteousness, I won't forget you." ”

He took the water bag, took two sips, and was overjoyed: "Sure enough, it smells of wine, but it doesn't rush, hahaha, cool, take a walk, drink wine, and go to the world of flowers." ”

A group of people, you take a sip, I take a sip, the water bag passed around in the hands of everyone, and a group of people drank in a blink of an eye, staggered, and walked towards the downtown block of Puzhou City.

At this time, it was just evening, and the poor people were eating at home, but the people with a little money were wandering the streets, some people were eating in small roadside restaurants, and the Puzhou restaurant was also full of diners.

Lao Nanfeng grabbed a passer-by, and asked with a smile: "Brother, how do you get to the Qinglou here?" ”
